Program Change Formats
We'll discuss the receiving side first. When you're using this format, the K2500 will respond to
either MC 32s or PCHs. The acceptable ranges of values are different, however, as is the
interpretation the K2500 makes. Instead of responding by selecting programs, the K2500
responds by selecting entries within the currently selected Quick Access bank. These selections
are made according to their "chronological" listing within the QA bank without regard for the
IDs of the objects in the QA bank. In most of the memory banks, there are 20 QA banks of 10
entries each, for a total of 200 entries. The program change values the K2500 receives
correspond to the sequential numbering of the entries in the QA banks.
Program change
command type
MIDI controller 32 (MC 32) 0 to 7
Standard (PCH)
Depending on the QA bank entry you want to select, you'll send the K2500 one or two program
change commands. Sending a single command will let you select from a range of 10 QA banks
and select an entry within that bank (see the table below). To select a different range of QA
banks, send two program change commands.
If you send a single command, it should be a PCH with a value of 0 to 99. If you send two
commands, the first can be either an MC 32 with value 0 to 7, or a PCH with value 100 to 107.
The second command should be a PCH with a value of 0 to 99.
Within the QA Bank E format, the first program change command specifies the range of Quick
Access banks that will be selected. It does not select a different memory bank. In fact, you can't
change the memory bank via MIDI when using this format. All program and setup selections
are made within the currently selected memory bank. You'll know which memory bank is
selected by looking at the ID of the currently selected Quick Access bank in the top line of the
Quick Access mode page. Several examples follow.
